The Philebrity Index: It Works Every Time

  • Amount of money that alcohol advertising generated for SEPTA, although they’re pulling their wrap-around Colt 45 bus ads due to “community concerns.” We’re sure that’s not their only concern: $600,000

  • Rank of Philly as Best Sports Town according to Sporting News mag, hell, we’re surprised we were even mentioned: 9th
  • Number of guns that Philly cops have gotten off the streets in the past four weeks: 100
  • College grads who are stuck here as part of Philly Fellows, a college student retention program to keep our young and educated from fleeing elsewhere: 15
  • Dollars that The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is dropping on a 30-second commercial in movie theaters to boost Catholic education. We’d love to know what summer blockbusters these will precede: $120, 000

      Regarding the whole Colt 45 fiasco, haven’t there been SEPTA buses wrapped in Coors Light ads before? I don’t recall anyone complaining about the Silver Bullet buses.

      I saw a Catholic education ad before The Simpsons movie this weekend. Ha ha, remember this bit?
